Temperatures are in reverse Thursday as the cool easterly wind blows off the chilly ocean. Although the bottom dropped out Wednesday along the coast, Thursday isn’t much better.

Highs will only make the mid/upper 40s. Elsewhere, we’re not much better off. Low 50s will be the order of the day. This will be the chilliest day we’ll see over the next few.
